Officially the nonprofit can't solicit or disperse outside the US, in the interim phase when they were just matching requesters with donors it wasn't a nonprofit yet and they weren't technically involved in the transaction.

APRIL 2023 FINANCIALS UPDATE   As of today, we sit in a MUCH better place than we did a month ago. For this, we have our very successful fundraiser to thank, with a particular thanks to the CSPAM COVID thread, which raised $texas$ amounts of money for the fund! The only concern I have right now is that we have about 38 people signed up to give a total of about $1,380 per month. Meanwhile, our per day disbursement average is $173 or about $5K a month. We did have a backlog that we fulfilled thanks to the new funds, so that did play a part in it. Speaking of, I am very happy to report that we currently have two active requests - 1 we are waiting for the requestee to get back in touch with us to confirm payment details over some confusion. And the other got a partial disbursement and we are waiting confirmation on if they will need the remaining amounts. Otherwise, we currently do not have a backlog! As for general updates:

MAY 15th MID MONTH UPDATE   So... we've had a busy May! Like, super busy. As you can tell, we gave nearly as much in two weeks of May as we did for all of April. The economy is sound! Strong and Stable!! We have had some interesting developments on top of this, like finding out that paypal does work for us if there is a partial balance! For instance, we only had like $30 in the paypal account and had a request for like $50, so Paypal sent $30 via the balance and debited our bank for the remainder! I thought wow, it must be fixed! So I then tried to utilize paypal to send a request through and immediately got stopped with technical difficulties because they can't connect to our linked bank!!  We also just, and I mean like 2 hours ago, received word that our amended filing for state registration has been accepted. So there should be no other blocks between the goonfund and 501c3 status except for the actual filing... which can be daunting, not going to lie. The main issue with the filing is the expedited version can only be filed if annual income is less than 50K and we are on projection to be over that right now. As for where we stand right now in terms of funds, things are somewhat thin. Last week alone we disbursed $3K over 15 requests. Quite simply, we can't do that again. Our biggest problem remains having people willing to drop large sums, without there being a volume of support - i.e., a goon dropping $200 is fantastic, but having 10 goons have $20 subscriptions would make sure the fund is more viable long term and has a more predictable budget. This is probably more on us for not advertising the fund as well as we should. Its prominent in CSPAM - being stickied to the top. But there's many people who never step foot into CSPAM who'd likely help out if they knew what's happening. This does dovetail into something that has been a great thing for us though - The demographics of requestors have been quite diverse! cspammers probably make up half of the requests, but there's been people from across the forums who have reached out for help. I think there's only two or three subforums that have yet to have a regular poster request money from the fund. Which goes back to what we originally stated we wanted for this fund - to help Goons no matter where they post. As for the contest, when Tiler has a chance they can update on the artwork and emotes. I think the organizing thread had yet to decide anything, but it's not like theres a time limit so

Once you get the 501c3 filing done, you’ll be eligible for corporate donations matching. Which is both kinda funny and will kick up the cashflow at least a little.

I did not realize how high the stripe fees were. I might see about switching my monthly over unless you think it would be best to wait until after other stuff gets handled like the 503c stuff?

I also wonder how many people who donated to the previous unofficial goon fund patreon aren't donating to this one because of how that one was killed. I'm still salty over that. I contribute because I know it works, and it helped me when I was giving the organizers poo poo (and even ate a ban for it). But the previous organizer still hasn't been unbanned and that's some bullshit Dear Jeffrey.

I'm waiting for paypal to work properly since I don't have venmo/cashapp as an old man. But I've also been watching to see if any emergencies come up before then and get mentioned in the thread, though yeah that's not as useful for fund organizing as stable revenue.

Stripe's fees mostly hurt on the smaller recurring stuff - since they take a flat amount on top of the percentage based amount. They are, still, the only service we have that lets you do recurring payments at this time. So if you really do want to set and forget, Stripe is it sadly.

But I've also been watching to see if any emergencies come up before then and get mentioned in the thread, though yeah that's not as useful for fund organizing as stable revenue. Paypal does work if you send us money and having a paypal balance lets us send money via paypal since, for some reason, that makes the account work properly. Paypal does charge the most fee - as much if not more than Stripe - so if that's why you'd prefer to use it - I advise sticking with stripe. Best fee situation for us is to send cash via venmo - very little fees are paid by us (like 1.75%) and you pay no fee as well. CC through venmo will cost a little bit more but still be a bit cheaper than stripe. I just wish venmo offered recurring options.

stripe fees are unfortunate but they are industry standard for card processor, so that's the best we can do for recurring direct from card. If you give directly to another source it may have lower fees but also kind of locks us in to only using it to fulfill requests that support that form of payout. Obviously all forms of donation are welcome but pros and cons

Hey, we got in a request from an EU goon in need of about 50 euros. I've reached out to some people but haven't heard back, if anyone can let me know if they are interested in helping within the next day, please do. As well, if you'd like to be put on notice for future EU/Canada requests, that would be appreciated since there isn't really anything in place for non-US/UK goons right now.

Just gave, unfortunately Venmo appears to be having some kind of lover's spat and/or networking slapfight with my bank so I had to go Stripe. But I want to say thank you to everyone who gives, and especially everyone who gives their time, attention, and energy to administrating this thing. I want to add, if it's okay, that I donated in honor of Trixie Hardcore, beloved boss covid thread mod, another goon doing God's work if God were real and good
